Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- What Genealogy Search/Research Did You Do Last Week?

 It's Saturday Night - 

time for more Genealogy Fun! 


 Your mission, should you accept it(cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to

1)  What genealogy search/research did you do last week?  Did you have a research goal or plan?  Tell us about one or more search/research session.

2)  Write your own blog post, or add your response as a comment to this blog post, in a Facebook Status post or note.


I didn't do any research last week, but the week before that, I did a little research on my 2nd great-uncle, Jesse Jay Barton. I reviewed old research to possibly explore new avenues on his experience in an orphanage with his brother, Oscar. Last year, I found a newspaper article about the arrest of my potential 2nd great-grandmother, Rosa Mott, which could play a part in why Oscar, Jesse, and Clara were placed in children's homes. I have to write an email to the Broome County Historical Society to see if there are any jail registers/ records from the early 1900s. And possibly find court records for Rosa’s two arrests, one in Broome and the other in Tioga County, New York.

Intentions & Reflections

Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash I haven’t blogged in a while. For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ?  Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote  just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience,   even when  inauthentic to me. It means more to me that others feel the value and quality of what I share rather than the quantity. I am not sure how often I will post, all I know is when the inspiration and curiosity strike, that’s when it will occur. My intention for this blog is to lead with more spontaneity than usual, structured content, along with transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability to whatever degree feels right. My inte...
